public class AC_MAC
extends Multi_AcceptanceCondition

The MAC is a tool which allows to test many acceptance strategies in the same negotiation trace. Each AC generates an outcome, which is saved separately. Note that while this tool allows to test a large amount of AC's in the same trace, there is a computational cost. Therefore we recommend to use at most 50 AC's.

Description copied from class: AcceptanceStrategy

Standard initialize method to be called after using the empty constructor. Most of the time this method should be overridden for usage by the decoupled framework.

Overrides:

init in class Multi_AcceptanceCondition

Parameters:

negoSession - state of the negotiation.

strat - of the agent.

parameters - of the acceptance strategy.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - thrown when initializing the acceptance strategy fails.
